Kubota V1305-BB-EC-1, V1305-BBS-EC-1, V1305-BB-EC-STD-3, V1305-BG2-SAE-1 1994 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a piston ring set for a Kubota and got the wrong one because the parts counter guy read the serial number wrong, you know the pain. That’s why this Kubota V1305-BB-EC-1, V1305-BBS-EC-1, V1305-BB-EC-STD-3, V1305-BG2-SAE-1 1994 Parts Catalog exists. It’s the exact document the dealer uses – no reprints, no third-party condensation, no guesswork. 87 pages of factory part numbers, illustrated breakdowns, and code numbers that tell you exactly which piston, pin, or ring assembly fits your engine’s serial number range.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Contains

Open to page 2 and you’ll see the model-to-code-number table. V1305-BB-EC-1 gets code 16255-11000. V1305-BB-EC-STD-3 gets 16255-13000. V1305-BBS-EC-1 gets 16256-11000. V1305-BG2-SAE-1 gets 17142-00000. That’s your key to the entire catalog. Every part number in the book is tied to these codes. Page 3 starts the real meat – the PISTON · CRANKSHAFT group with exploded views, REF numbers, and part numbers like 15800-0000-0 for the piston itself. The catalog lists multiple supersessions by serial number range (15000～ and 15001～). Miss that detail and you order a piston that doesn’t match the pin bore.

87 Pages of Factory Part Numbers and Diagrams

The format is dense but logical. Left-hand pages show the illustration; right-hand pages give the part number, description, and quantity. Each group – cylinder head, fuel system, cooling, etc. – gets its own figure number. Page 4 explains the notation: L.No. replaces page numbering, dotted brackets identify assembly components, and a dot next to a part means it’s not sold separately. You have to order the parent assembly (REF. No. 060 in the example). That kind of detail saves you from buying a piece you can’t use.

Source Validity: OEM Print, Not Aftermarket Copy

This is a direct scan of the original Kubota publication, printed June 1994 in Japan for the European market. The cover says “KUBOTA” and “DIESEL ENGINE” in three languages. The inside notice warns that the list is subject to change without notice – that’s the factory’s way of saying don’t use an outdated copy. Every page matches exactly what Kubota ships to its dealers. Aftermarket catalogs often merge multiple model years or omit the serial-number split. That costs you time and cash. Stick with OEM.

Use the Code Number to Order Right

Walk into any Kubota dealer with code 16255-11000 and they’ll pull the right piston for a V1305-BB-EC-1. Without it, you’re guessing. The catalog gives you those codes on page 2, and then every part listing includes a REMARKS column that flags whether the part applies to a specific code or serial range. For example, the piston ring assembly (15800-2000-0) applies to serial 15000～, while 15830-2000-0 applies to 15001～. Know your engine’s serial number, match it here, and you avoid the “this doesn’t fit” phone call.

Piston and Crankshaft: Illustrated Breakdown

Figure B02-R on page 3 shows the piston, pin, rings, and connecting rod in an exploded view. The detail is clear enough to see orientation of the ring gaps and the snap ring groove. The parts list then cross-references each numbered callout to a REF number, part number, and description in English, French, and German. That trilingual aspect alone is useful if you’re sourcing parts overseas. The catalog also includes the crankshaft group with main bearing shells and thrust washers – all with OEM part numbers you can verify online.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is an illustrated parts list, not a service manual. You’ll find part numbers, quantities, and exploded diagrams – but no torque values or assembly instructions.

How do I find the correct part number for my V1305 if the serial number falls between two ranges shown in the catalog?

Kubota used serial number breakpoints (e.g., 15000 and 15001) to indicate design changes. If your engine’s serial number is exactly 15000, use the parts listed for that range (the “-0” suffix). If it’s 15001 or higher, use the “-2” suffix parts. The catalog clearly marks these in the REMARKS column. If your serial number isn’t listed, call a Kubota dealer with your engine’s model code and full serial number – they can look up the correct supersession. Never guess; the wrong piston pin can seize the piston.
